EDP Distribuio is the Distribution System Operator (DSO) in Portugal1 (a regulated activity)

Electric system value chain

Generation Transmission Distribution Retail Consumption

Regulated activities2

1. Except for Madeira and Azores, and a few small distributors in the Low Voltage grid 2. There is still some regulated activity in retail, progressively substituted by liberalised activities

Conclusions

EDP is continuous improving a solution that is already commercially

tested and enabling innovative smart services, as demonstrated in vora the 1st Iberian InovCity...

Future solutions imply convergence of Prediction Algorithms with Real Time Analysis aligned with a strong and solid analytical component.

The information being generated by Smart Grids will imply the use of solutions that support large volumes of data (BIG DATA)

strongly aligned with EDP group strategy aiming at Europes goals ...

involved in European Initiatives, Institutions and Projects focused on knowledge sharing and dissemination
